All of this is interesting, but I would like to return to discussing Pearson's textbooks on Amazon, and whether there is any way to remove the DRM from them. I found a book I need to buy that is over 50% off the price of a used textbook (!) in eTextbook format, but
really don't want to use the Kindle app.
Are we sure this is really a Kindle book, and not the same eTextbook that can be purchased elsewhere (
https://www.ecampus.com/etextbooks ,
https://www.vitalsource.com/ , Pearson's own
https://www.pearsonhighered.com/etextbooks/ , et al)? Is it possible Amazon just added the eTextbook reader routines to the Kindle app at 1.26 so they could grab part of the sale for pre-existing eTextbooks?
And the real question - anyone know of a
really cheap eTextbook that can be purchased from Amazon and used for examination? If there's an inexpensive one out there, I'll take one for the team...
